Volunteering Opportunities

There are lots of ways you can help us as a volunteer.

All of our opportunities are flexible and can be tweaked around you and your circumstances

If you like the look of any of these opportunities, please do use our enquiry form to get in touch or just give us a phone call. Alternatively you may have a special skills, interest or area of expertise to offer us. We will contact you to chat through your interest, without obligation.

Telephone Signposting

People with dementia or memory loss and those caring for a relative with dementia can find it difficult to pick their way through the myriad of various local services. Can you be their navigator?We give you training so you can help signpost people who call our memory navigation helpline. You will also stay in touch with those who have registered for this service to give them updates.Read more about Memory Navigators

Helping at groups

Volunteers are a great help at carers support groups, by welcoming people and offering hospitality - working with staff to create a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Read more about Helping at groups

Admin Support

Learn or brush up your admin skills in one of our busy offices in Bedford, Biggleswade or Leighton Buzzard. You can help us with photocopying, scanning, data entry, reception and general office duties. Read more about Admin Support

Our Bedford office is currently recruiting for Reception volunteers so if you would like to meet and greet visitors, take phone calls and have 3 - 4 hours spare each week, we would love to hear from you.

Call a Carer

Are you good on the phone? Be a listening ear for isolated carers so they know they are not alone? Or ring new carers to let them know what help we offer in their area and any groups, training or activities coming up. Read more about Call A Carer

Home visits

Sign up as a dementia befriender and give a carer two hours freedom a week by providing companionship to their relative. Read more about Home visits

Helping young carers

Volunteers can play a big part at our clubs for Young Carers, aged between 4 – 16 years. The clubs are fun, give the young carer a break and the chance to get some support.Read more about helping young carers

Do you like getting out and about? Help us to reach more carers by going to community groups and venues to talk about how we can help. Become an ambassador to tell community groups how they may be able to help us by raising funds and spreading the word. Promote our Carers Discount Card out in the commuity to help carers save money.
